'Glee' star Colfer "held hostage" by fans

The 20-year-old actor, who plays Kurt Hummel in US television drama Glee, said that he was "terrified" by a drunk group of fans who recently accosted him.

Colfer is quoted by Yahoo as saying: "I was recently held hostage in an elevator by a group of women. I think they were a little drunk, granted, but they would not let me out until I took pictures with them.

"It was funny, but I was terrified. It was like the Aldonza rape scene in Man of La Mancha, if you get my drift. That's kind of how I felt."
